The two key hires announced will strengthen the firm's fast-growing business in Japan, following a record year for BDA in the country.
Global investment banking advisor BDA Partners today announced two senior appointments at its Tokyo office: Hideyuki Tozawa as managing director and co-head, and Shinsuke Hashimoto as director.
Tozawa and Hashimoto will add to BDA’s M&A advisory and capital raising capabilities, the firm said. In 2018, BDA advised on 11 deals involving Japan, including Wendel’s sale of Nippon Oil Pump to CITIC Capital, and Beijing Jingcheng’s divestment of Nagano Industry to JAFCO.
«We’re excited to have Tozawa-san and Hashimoto-san join us to grow BDA’s Japan practice. Japanese companies and private equity funds need increasing advice on cross-border M&A. Our new additions bring extensive experience and deep relationships,» BDA co-founder and senior managing director Charles Maynard said.
